What We Think

"Above Suspicion" is refreshingly non-woke by modern standards, sticking to classic storytelling and avoiding recent Hollywood activist trends. Old-school viewers can relax and enjoy the suspense without eye-rolling interruptions.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show takes a fairly traditional approach to crime drama, prioritizing character development and plot over forced identity politics. There's minimal to no evidence of casting or story choices that stem from checking diversity boxes over merit or fit.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Family, morality, and traditional justice are depicted with seriousness rather than derision. Masculinity and cultural traditions remain largely intact, and there are no overt attempts at subverting genre expectations or rewriting history for modern sensibilities.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The series presents a range of characters and motives without reducing traditional perspectives to mere caricature. There's a genuine engagement with plural viewpoints rather than a monolithic narrative.
